After losing Eloise we took a little time and brought home this sweet
thing from the rescue center. Zelda is 2 years old and super
affectionate. She still hides a lot, but comes right out if we call her
to get some loving. And she adores the kids. They love her and I hope
she settles in soon!

Eloise, our sweet little kitten passed away this morning. Eloise was super thin and we brought her in to the vet first thing
yesterday because I was worried about her. She was in bad shape (and
younger than we were told) I spent all day yesterday giving her droppers of water and giving her fingertips of meat baby food. It was a houseful of tears this morning.

Thankfully we already had a busy day planned and it helped to get everyone out of the house and busy.

Face Painting cheers anyone up

Bagpipes!

After the Scottish Festival we headed to the next town for their annual homeschool curriculum sale. I had been putting money aside for a while and I'm glad I did! So much great stuff! We got there later then I meant, but it worked out great because people were starting to discount their books.

It's the *cough* anniversary of my grandmother's 29th birthday. My
grandma filled my childhood with tea parties, crafts, flowers, yard
sales, dress up clothes, and sweets that were snuck behind my hippie
mom's back. Essentially the perfect grandma. I am so blessed that my
children get to have memories of their great-grandma in some of the same
ways.

My sister was in town from out of state and we all came to celebrate this special lady. Nothing better then family dinners!

It's Claire's 9th Birthday! How is that possible? Wasn't she just born? And already on her last year of single digits .... She had her first friend party this year - a pool party! She thought it was perfect.

I am a pretty nerdy, slightly hippie, homeschooling mama of four minions. Busy loving and teaching my 2 girls and 2 boys with my husband of 14 years. Right now I'm holding on to my sanity and trying to help my children grow into themselves!
